- The Orioles re-signed Michael Bourn.
- Jackie Bradley Jr. will head to the 10-day DL for a knee injury he sustained in the Red Sox game on Saturday.
- San Francisco places Buster Posey on 7-day DL because taking a shot like that to the head isn’t something you just rub some dirt on.

- The Mariners send Jean Segura to disabled list.
- Yordano Ventura’s mother threw out the 1st pitch of the Royals’ home opener and there was not a dry eye in the house. Rest in peace, Ace.

- Wil Myers hit for the cycle on Monday because a lot of really cool things can happen in the one week of baseball being back.
